Encyclopedia article from Meyers Konversations-Lexikon describing the embroidery machine (Stickmaschine), used to sew patterns into fabric. It covers the stitches used in machine embroidery, the Heilmann machine of 1829 with its vertical frame, double-pointed needles and gripper carriages, and the pantograph (Storchschnabel) that transfers reduced pattern movements to the frame. It also explains the Voigt festoon apparatus of 1864 and the single-needle chain-stitch machines such as Bonnaz's, used for tulle and curtain embroidery.
